A common-sense, non-ideological guide to U.S. tax policy, Payback explains who benefits from tax preferences, and what citizens can do to protect their interests. The author concludes with a bold plan for restructuring the tax system in order to fund the public investments necessary to keep the country competitive and to preserve the American ideal for all citizens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br \/>\nThomas Allen Moon<br \/>\nAs a public finance attorney and former watchdog with the SEC, I have 40 years of experience inside the U.S. tax system. Many of the tax deals I structured as a municipal bond lawyer overwhelmingly benefited corporate clients and the wealthy. Now that I&#8217;m retired, I consider it my duty to pay back America by educating others about the implications of tax policy for our country\u2019s future. My book Payback is a clarion call for a more just tax system, brought about by greater leadership from the wealthiest and deeper engagement from the rest of us.<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\">\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22b1\u22b0\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GLQ2eFN-M2w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to see my interview with the Author.<\/p>\n<div class=\"book_table\">\n<div class=\"book_cover\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hat-Candles-2008-2019-Richard-Wirick-ebook\/dp\/B09JSXCYW9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-619 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/tonyrobinson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hat-195x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"541\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"book_desc\">\n<h3><em>Hat of Candles: Essays 2008-2019<\/em><\/h3>\n<div style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><em>Ekstasis Editions, R.

From the Author\u2019s website:\n\n\n<div class=\"poem\">\n\n<strong>About the Book<\/strong>\nPayback: Why the Top 1% Must Invest in the Rest and How it Can Renew America offers an insider\u2019s perspective on the ways that special interests have corrupted capitalism and the power of citizens to change it. A common-sense, non-ideological guide to U.S. tax policy, Payback explains who benefits from tax preferences, and what citizens can do to protect their interests. The author concludes with a bold plan for restructuring the tax system in order to fund the public investments necessary to keep the country competitive and to preserve the American ideal for all citizens.\n\n<strong>About the Author<\/strong>\nThomas Allen Moon\nAs a public finance attorney and former watchdog with the SEC, I have 40 years of experience inside the U.S. tax system. Many of the tax deals I structured as a municipal bond lawyer overwhelmingly benefited corporate clients and the wealthy. Now that I'm retired, I consider it my duty to pay back America by educating others about the implications of tax policy for our country\u2019s future. My book Payback is a clarion call for a more just tax system, brought about by greater leadership from the wealthiest and deeper engagement from the rest of us.\n\n\n<div class=\"divider\">\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22b1\u22b0\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef\u22ef<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GLQ2eFN-M2w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to see my interview with the Author.\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-653 aligncenter\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.bandholemediallc.com\/tonyrobinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monograph-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"880\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.bandholemediallc.com\/tonyrobinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monograph-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.bandholemediallc.com\/tonyrobinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monograph-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.bandholemediallc.com\/tonyrobinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monograph-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.bandholemediallc.com\/tonyrobinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monograph-600x316.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.bandholemediallc.com\/tonyrobinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monograph.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/>Curitiba, Brazil<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"book_table\">\n\n\n<div class=\"book_desc\" style=\"padding: 0;\">\n\n\n<div>\n\n\n<h3><em>Sustainable Cities: Case Studies in New Urban Development<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\nStudents of Environmental Sustainability \u2013 Graduate Liberal Studies Program Southern Methodist University -2014\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div>\n\nAs Adjunct Professor in the Program, I organized five of my students to write contributing essays to the Monograph.
